Self- described as “rustic, European farmhouse soul food,” how could you go wrong? Meat lovers will delight in the pork confit with crispy polenta and plums and the glazed lamb ribs. And, of course, the well-balanced drink list is an added bonus. Get outstanding low prices on quality products. PHOTO BY TR ASK BEDORTHA BEST PLACE TO EAT WITH KIDS 1. Laughing Planet 760 Blair Blvd., 868-0668; 2864 Willamette St., 505-5399. 2. Stay home! You’re why Daddy drinks! NIMBYville 3. Papa’s Pizza 1700 W. 11th Ave., 485-5555; 1577 Coburg Rd., 686-2240; www.papaspizza.net We hesitate to say it’s all about the dinosaurs because that would belittle the mutually beneficial relationship Laughing Planet has provided to parents and their offspring all around Eugene: nutritious options that kids think taste good — like good ol’ rice and beans (together, a complete protein) or a mini quesadilla. That said, the dinos are key. “Kids really like to take all the dinosaurs to their table and they don’t like to really share,” says Blair Boulevard store manager Rachel Fabrocini. Another front counter employee adds that she’s garnering a photo collection of some serious dino stacks. Where else but at Laughing Planet are tiny greasy fingers hoarding and stacking plastic prehistoric figures not just welcomed but also encouraged? As if the food wasn’t enough! And vegetarians love it — in the Veggies Gone Wild burrito, for example, black beans, steamed broccoli, spinach, grain medley, cilantro lime slaw, green beans masala and Thai lemongrass peanut sauce all roll together like it was meant to be. If discovering an exotic burrito match is a part of an individual’s destiny, Laughing Planet is there to help you eat your way straight to cosmic bliss.
